OT: Portland can kill us.

[CuttingEdge]

As a Portland fan, I think the Blazers could be rather competitive at home winning 2-3 there, but the real problem will be winning at the Toyota center. Heck, being that the playoff chase is so close, we may be 5 seeds apart by the season's end, but whomever we match up with, road games may be unkind for PDX.

You guys have all the tools to win. You lose when you don't feel like playing. You are the longest team in the league and have guys that can put it back a lose ball instantly.. You got the perimeter guys as well.

I think we will find out who's better in our upcoming game. The winner takes the tiebreaker (and possible the HCA from the other).

If our two teams meet in the playoffs, I think it would come down to the HCA in game 7

I think the Rockets will beat anyone in the 1st round as long as we have HCA... It won't be easy though, all these teams are good.

I'm excited for this game. Portland has won 4 straight games by 20+(including Jazz and Suns who are not pushovers), and in March we blew out the Lakers and Spurs at home.

Portland has only won 1 game against a top 9 western conferance team on the road this year, and that was in New Orleans after Chris Paul got hurt.(we came back from 20+ down). Many times, our bench loses a lot of ground on the road...it's not quite as good as some say.

But if Portland comes out and plays ball like they have the last 4 games, look out.

^^^ We are worst than the push overs. Can you examine how much the Rockets are posers. Start by examining our horrible PG play and then how we have no scheme but this gay ass coach promoting "Freeflow offense" We are not what you think we are.

Can we lock this thread now? lol

The thread was a knee-jerk reaction.

We handled the Blazers well today. We can beat them with HCA.

I think last night's game answered some questions.
